Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

"Since it's related to the Southern Yi, maybe the Duke will know the news?" Bei Lan suggested.

"It's too late to wait for news now." Qi Sui'an shook his head, his eyes serious: "Check what's going on over there first."

Bei Lan nodded heavily: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Just at this moment, the servant outside came to report.

"General He wants to see you."

"Your Majesty, why is he here again?" Bei Lan frowned. "Is he going to ask you to recruit soldiers again?"

"Forget it. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth." Qi Sui'an waved his hand calmly and told him to leave. "Take your men with you and make sure to thoroughly investigate the eldest prince's secrets."

"Yes." Bei Lan took the order and left.

When Qi Suian walked out quickly, He Weiyuan was indeed smiling.

"Your Majesty, we didn't finish recruiting soldiers last time. Let's finish it today while the weather is good."

"General He, why did you come so late today? I already have other arrangements." Qi Sui'an said calmly: "Now that I am about to leave, I will also arrange for someone to go with me."

He Weiyuan had a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have elite soldiers under my command. Even if you travel alone, there will be no problem."

Qi Sui'an rejected him coldly: "That being said, I need my own people around me to feel at ease, right?"

"That's what the prince said. I can only be assured if it's someone I arranged myself!" He Weiyuan cleared his throat: "Didn't the prince ask me why I was late today? There was a reason."

Qi Suian didn't respond, he just wanted to hear what he wanted to say.

He Weiyuan was not embarrassed at all, and he spoke to himself: "Early this morning, the emperor summoned me to the palace to discuss something, but after a short while, the emperor had something else to do and asked me to leave. It turned out that something big happened in the palace."

When Qi Suian heard that something big had happened in the palace, he became a little nervous.

There is only one reason, and that is that Shen Mengyao is still imprisoned in the palace's inner prison.

"What's the matter?" Qi Suian raised his eyebrows.

"I was walking so fast that I couldn't hear clearly, but I heard that the inner prison arrested a few more people last night. It seems that the princess was caught trying to murder the queen mother again, and even the maid beside her was locked up."

He Weiyuan observed the expression on his face as he spoke, and then waved his hand as if he was relaxed.

"But I also heard it from others, so I don't know if it's true or not."

Upon hearing this, Qi Sui'an's brows involuntarily furrowed, and a barely perceptible trace of worry and anger flashed in his eyes.

"General He, this matter is of great importance. Are you sure the source of the information is reliable?" Qi Sui'an's voice was low and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

Although He Weiyuan has bad intentions, he should not deceive him on this matter.

He Weiyuan still smiled and said, "The palace maids and eunuchs serving in front of the palace were talking about it. I just happened to pass by and heard a few words. I dare not confirm whether it is true or not."

Upon hearing this, Qi Sui'an became even more anxious.

He has no idea what's going on in the palace now. If even Queyue is arrested, he will be completely in the dark!

In addition, Doctor Su has already been sent in. If this method fails to lure out the real murderer, then he might be in danger.

There are so many things going on that it's hard to find a clue.

"General He, I have something else to do, so I'll leave the matter over there to you. Obviously, the emperor trusts you more." There was a hint of politeness in Qi Sui'an's tone.

He Weiyuan smiled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, this really embarrasses me. The Emperor discusses most military and national affairs with you, so he naturally trusts you more."

These things were urgent, and Qi Suianke had no interest in engaging in official talk with him. He just sent him off with a few casual words and walked out quickly.

First of all, he had to find someone to protect Shen Mengyao. Secondly, there were more than just Duke Shen who followed the southern expedition. Perhaps he could find out something by asking carefully.

But I didn't expect to run into *** as soon as I walked out of the house. *** was dressed much more gently at this time, and she came to greet me with a smile.

"Brother Sui'an, can we get married after you come back? Can you accompany me to pick out some jewelry?"

Qi Sui'an frowned and spoke bluntly.

"Princess, even if the engagement is difficult to change now, you don't have to act so intimate since you know I have no interest in you."

***’s face changed slightly.

"Things have already changed. They can't be changed. What else do you want? The Queen Mother's condition is getting more and more unstable. I will tell the Emperor that I want to get married as soon as possible to bring happiness to the Queen Mother. I'm sure she will agree."

"You can keep the person, but not his heart." Qi Sui'an sneered, raised his eyes and looked at her coldly: "Is it interesting? Besides, do you think I know nothing about the dirty things you did?"

***'s face changed: "Let's just treat the past as the past, okay?"

"It's over? How much do you know about the Queen Mother?" Qi Sui'an frowned: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, and you are the only one who has the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother."

***'s face was distorted by anger, and the mask of gentleness was thrown aside.

"Now that the evidence is solid and Shen Mengyao has been arrested, are you still so suspicious of me and questioning me? Why do you trust that woman so much?"

She yelled in hysterical anger.

"Because she is the kindest person in the world, she would never repay kindness with enmity. God is watching what you do. The Queen Mother will wake up soon. You must have left some evidence, otherwise you wouldn't be so afraid of the Queen Mother waking up." Qi Suian's tone was very affirmative.

Seeing that he sentenced himself to death with just a few words, ***'s heart was filled with anger and pain.

"Do you want to provoke me and force me to admit it? It doesn't matter who did it. What matters is that Shen Mengyao, whom you claim to trust, is about to pay the price for this!"

She widened her eyes, and a hint of crazy smile flashed in them.

Qi Suian's eyes were as cold as ice. He stared at *** deeply, as if he could penetrate her disguised appearance and look directly into the darkness in her heart.

"***, do you think that you can keep the truth dormant forever with your methods? I tell you, there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and there is no crime that can be covered up forever."

He turned around and tried to leave, but *** suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve. Her voice was filled with a hint of pleading, but also with an unquestionable determination.

"Brother Sui'an, why are you so stubborn? We could have lived in peace and even become each other's strongest support. As long as you are willing to let go of Shen Mengyao, I can help you get everything you want, including the throne!"
